Silver Dollar Spurs c. 1938

Cecil Smith's watercolor painting *Silver Dollar Spurs* from c. 1938 depicts a pair of ornate spurs. The spurs are rendered in meticulous detail, highlighting the craftsmanship of their leather straps and silver accents. The use of watercolor creates a sense of realism, capturing the texture of the metal and leather. The piece's composition, featuring the spurs against a white background, draws the viewer's eye to the intricate details of the objects. This work demonstrates Smith's talent for capturing the essence of Western American life through art.
